BBQ catering for your event in Ringmer

A home barbecue means hours at the grill and a pile of washing up. A catered barbecue takes all of that off your hands, so you can spend the time with your guests. We are often asked to cater work barbecues and evening wedding food, serving beef burgers, pulled pork and BBQ ribs.

For a barbecue in Ringmer, the garden is frequently the best venue. Tell us about the drive and the garden, and we’ll bring everything else. Our staff serve and clear, so nobody in your party has to serve or tidying up afterwards.

How we price a catered barbecue

Every booking is priced individually, based on a few main things:

  • Access to the cooking area
  • Whether you want china
  • How many people are eating
  • The date and time of year

Midweek and quieter months are often easier to book, and the menu you choose makes a difference too. Ask us and we will suggest the best fit for your budget.

What to tell us

Here’s what we’ll ask:

  • Rough numbers
  • The venue or postcode
  • Any venue rules
  • Allergies we should know about

We price every booking individually, based on numbers, menu, timings and distance. Ask us for a quote for your event: fill in our quote form.

How far is Ringmer from London?

Roughly 42 miles from the centre of London.

Is there anything for vegans?

Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Tell us numbers so there’s enough.

Can you do a hog roast as well?

Yes. The hog roast feeds a crowd at once, and the barbecue adds choice.

Do you provide china?

Plates are included. China is available at an extra cost.

Do you leave the area tidy?

Our staff clear up after service, and leave the area tidy.

Do you offer halal meat?

We don’t offer halal. Our meat-free options are there, or halal food would need to be arranged separately.

How soon do you get booked up?

Popular dates go early. But it’s always worth asking: fill in our quote form.

Diets, allergies and alternatives

A little planning helps everyone eat safely. Here are a few tips:

  • Plan separately for anyone who needs halal food
  • Ask us to label vegetarian and vegan food
  • Ask about allergies when guests reply
  • Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them

We get there well before service, so the grill is up to heat when you are ready to eat.

Sides turn a barbecue into a proper meal.

How the day works

One of us cooks, the others serve, so the queue keeps moving. After service, we clear up and pack away. By late September, sunset in Ringmer is about 7:05pm; in December it’s about 3:55pm. A lunchtime barbecue avoids the dark.

  1. Tell us what kind of event it is.
  2. You get a suggested menu and a price.
  3. We arrive ahead of service and set up under cover.
  4. We serve as people come up.
  5. We tidy up before we go.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the cooking area is away from walls, tents and trees
  • Give us final numbers a week or so before
  • Keep the grill downwind of the seating
